The Great Wall of China

Take a walk along one of the many remaining sections of The Great Wall of China, which is easily one of the world's most recognizable monuments. The Great Wall, as we know it, is actually a series of several walls built at different times by different emperors over the course of 1400 years! Universally considered to be one of the 7 wonders of the modern world, it stretches for nearly 9,000 kilometers (~ 5,500 miles) and is easily one of the most awesome structures ever conceived of by man. There are a large number of places to visit the Wall, the most popular can be visited in one day starting from Beijing. The fact that it is one of the few manmade structures that is visible from space clearly cements its unique place on any PlanetHoppers! résumé.
